I just bought the P90X dvd set on amazon.com for $70. I really hope its not a scam and i really hope this guilty feeling about spending $70 goes away soon.

The University of Connecticut, or UConn sounds an awful lot like Yukon. Despite the emblazoned acronym of my Alma mater across my chest, I am still asked, "What's Alaska like!?" Californians cannot think past the Las Vegas.
Anyway I made it one piece to Ladera Ranch. It is rainy and chilly for the area. It is mild to me in comparison to the blizzard back east. Still I wouldn't mind some sun....
Being here for only two days I can tell I will not be ab;e to move back "home" after graduation. It may be a bit lonely living far awa from family, but I like to things my way now. I like how the kitchen is organized in my apartment. Stuff like that. Also, I am finished with my teenage years and teenage problem. You could not pay enough to trlive them. So why would I stay in a house with THREE horomonal teenage girls?! I can tolerate Amanda, but brooke and sarah are already driving me nuts. And my skin is breaking out...Hormones.
Today my mom is taking me shopping. We are going to one of the many malls in the area which should have some cool cali clothes. But from experience, the best shopping (for my taste at least) and the little shops along the beach. All original and very artsy. MAybe I'll get down there before i have to go back to new england.

I am in the CRT cast of Hair! This will be my first main stage production at UConn. And in the jorgenson. very cool. my only regret is, because of the three week rehearsal overlap I can't be in Icarus. I'll just have to wait until Stefano and Micheal take their amazing puppet - ensemble-acrobatci-dramatic-comedic- theatrical extravanganza on the road. It is going to be amazing and I can't wait to see it.

So I went to the RMV on Tuesday to try and get a new license. I did, but here's the thing: it will still be an "Under 21 Issued." Today I tried to cancel the whole thing, because it cost me 40 bucks and if I want to get a regular one, I have to wait until after my birthday and pay another $20. But I won't be here long enough after my birthday anyway. So I guess I did the only thing I could do and it's just going to cost me another $20 after I get back from California. ug. These are the small problem you encounter when your family moves 3000 miles away.

It took me three and a half hours to trace and cut out 20 foam hands for Icarus. I don't think it should have taken me that long, but I was working non-stop. I wonder, if at the Puppet Heap, it take them that long. As I was working I kept thinking about what I should do after graduation. I'm not that great at building, but I'm getting better. Would I good enough to work at the Puppet Heap? Do I even want to work at the Heap. I mean I want to perform, not build, for the rest of my life.
I really think the Puppet Lab would be the perfect setting for a reality show. Like for TLC or something.

i just worked out at the mansfield community center because the uconn gym is closed. they have t.v.s in the treadmills! not that i watch t.v. when i workout, but it was pretty cool! it was also nice to get a workout in. it was far to cold to train outside today.
my dad just left to travel back to california. i miss him already. i know it will only be two weeks of so until i see him and the rest of my family again, but its tough to be so far away during the holday season. i do have some time to myself so i better make good use of it. hopefully i can get my interview for the new york city teaching fellows together. yikes. very nerve racking.
maybe some guitar and ukulele practice too.

I am teaching myself the ukulele. I printed out a chord chart and on a loner "uke" from Ken Clarck, I am learning how to make this cute little instrument sound good. So far I only know "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." If I gain about 600 pounds you might mistake me for Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole. Maybe.
